require high gain and low noise IF
or RF amplification with minimum
power consumption.
The INA series of MMICs is
fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT,
25 GHz f
bipolar process which uses nitride
self-alignment, submicrometer
lithography, trench isolation, ion
implantation, gold metallization
and polyimide intermetal dielectric and scratch protection to
achieve excellent performance,
Description
uniformity and reliability.
The INA-03100 is a low-noise
silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC)
feedback amplifier chip. It is
designed for narrow or wide
bandwidth commercial, industrial
The recommended assembly
procedure is gold-eutectic die
attach at 400°C and either wedge
or ball bonding using 0.7 mil gold
wire.
